Prologue
The rain pounded heavily on the tin roof. The drops falling from the roof's over-hangings created a waterfall encompassing the tiny shack, relaying the anger that was felt inside. The man crouching in the corner wondered how it had gotten this far, how it had reached this point. Just how did he become this rotting-away shell of a person, hiding away in the middle of nowhere? It wasn't like he had wanted this to happen, but there were just some things that couldn't be prevented. He was sure it was just the person he was and the person she was. Neither of them were meant to be together, and he had known that - he had known - and yet gone against his better judgment. He was just bloody stupid. And now, now because of his foolish behavior, all that he cared about was gone. Even caring was a big step for him and look how that had turned out. If one never cared, then he or she never had to get hurt. He had taken a chance, and sure enough, as if on cue, caring had turned out to be the biggest mistake of his life.
"Just stay by my side."
"I can't. You know I can't."
"Yes, you can… you once said you loved me."
"It was a lie."
"You should know I can tell when you're lying."
"Please, don't make me hurt you."
"You should've thought of that before."
Then all she did was cry. That's all that ever came from caring: tears. And now the heavens cried - cried for love had, then lost. Cried for feelings hurt and people lost. But most of all it cried for Draco Malfoy.

A/N 2: And my chapters are longer than this, promise! No worries.
